Nobody wants to spend more time fiddling around with their toy gun than playing with it, so we assessed how straightforward each toy was to handle, fire, and reload, and we considered how convenient its capacity was. Fun factor When you think of a Nerf Minigun, or gatling gun, you think of the baddest, most fear-producing dart blasters that reign supreme in a Nerf battle. Not only are they large, but they hold a lot of ammo, and have intimidating features. While some may prefer a fully auto blaster, the Crusher can still unleash about 4 darts per second with slam fire. Each shot causes the barrels to rotate and holding the trigger while pumping the top handle makes it fire continuously.

It includes 48 foam darts and a 35-dart chain that can be extended by purchasing additional links. It doesn’t require batteries and can shoot up to 4 darts per second with a range of 90 feet.The chain feeds in from the right side, and must be disconnected to load as the top of the blaster doesn’t open up. For this reason, it is easier to keep it connected in a loop and reload it while still in the gun. Who Should Buy The Excel Crusher

They're based in convenient locations including supermarkets, newsagents and train stations. Plus they're often open late and on Sundays. Two included ammo storage drums can hold another 30 darts all together and act as support for the ammo chain. When reloading, you can pop the whole chain out by opening the top, but it is probably easier to just load it while it is still in. There are plenty of X-Shot darts included, 48 to be exact, so you have more than enough to fill the 35-dart chain. To add to the fun, you can get extra links to extend the chain or wear on your shoulders like Rambo.

The X-Shot dart is about equal when it comes to the quality of the Nerf Elite dart. However, X-Shot darts are lighter and fly a little further on average.

While all the toy dart blasters on list are referred to as either Nerf Miniguns or Gatling guns, this is the only true Nerf Gatling gun I could find. This is definitely not name brand, but this ArtCreativity Gatling dart blaster is very cool with the actual crank-style firing system. The outer portion of the barrel spins as you are launching darts, but they just come out of the one-center barrel.The closest Nerf blasters that you can compare it with are the Nerf Rival Atlas and the newer Nerf Rival Forerunner.

Like Rival, the Chaos series shoots much harder than a standard Nerf gun, so it may not be as suitable for younger kids. Don't shoot at point blank range – foam darts are soft, but if you get hit by them at very close range they might sting a little. The darts won't have any chance to slow down in the air, so at that range they'll be hitting you as hard as they can. Nerf also has a quality edge when it comes to customization and attachments. However, the reduced prices of the Zuru X-Shot brand can more makeup for most quality differences. X-Shot Ammo Vs. Nerf Ammo The best X-Shot dart blaster out now is the Excel Crusher minigun. It is a great quality blaster that looks awesome, shoots consistently with no jams, and has a reasonable price. Items that are not available in store will take 3-5 working days (excluding weekends and bank holidays) to be delivered to your nominated store.Your opponents will do everything in their power to get their hands on the Crusher. This includes up to (but not limited to) tripping you while you're running to get it and then enlisting the help of all their siblings to hold you down while they steal it from you (speaking from experience here.)
